HORRIBLE CRIME OF MRS. DRusE.
Condemned TO Death, She Is Respited
to Allow Time for i.egisla-
tive Action.
IAlbany IN. W specially

Gov. Hill has issued an executive order
postponing the execution of Mrs. Roxalana
Druse, under sentence of death for the muir
der of her husband, from Dec. 90, the date
fixed in the sentence, till Feb. 2S. The
Governor says he does this in order to give
the State Legislature an opportunity to
modify the law of capital punishment in
its application, and adds that as far as he
is concerned the case is closed and the
woman must suffer the penalty Of the crime
on the day fixed unless in the meantime
the law shall have been changed. The
Governor says that it was a clear case of
murder, and that he can find no reason for
interference with the penalty except the
eek of the condemned, which the law does
not take into account. He says:
THE evidence shows that the killing was
most brutal and atrocious in its character.
Briefly stated, the facts satisfactorily es-
tablished are as follows: The family con-
sisted of the deceased aud Mrs. Druse, the
daughter Mary, aged 10 years, the son
George, aged 10 years, nephew, Frank

Archbishop Manning's Views
Of the Case

Rev. Dr.. Edward McGlynn has won
much publicity by his open advocacy Of
Henry Georges theories, which are said to
be opposed to the teachings of the Catholic
Church, and he has been summoned to
Rome to explain certain Of his uttezances
in the recent campaign. DIR. McGlynn
has declined to say much in regard 10 the
matter. as messages from the Vatican al
ways allow reasonable time in such cases
for the priest to set the affairs of
his parish in good running order before de-
parture. DIR. McGlynn is very popular with
the wide circle of his practitioners, and the
opinion of most of them is that the Pope

George had said the Catholic Church had
never confirmed the principle of property

verse is the fact. The church has, from
the beginning, taught the right, of property
in land"
"Do you apprehend that the labor move
ment led by Mr.. George will extend to dan
gerous propo'tions?"
Il do not, SO far as England is concerned.
The strongest desire of the workingman is

Chamber of Deputies, 70 which body
he was returned by the electors in

Minister Of the Interior. M. Goblet is
Journalist of liberal views, having founded
while at Amiens in 1869 the liberal journal
styled LIE Progress dc la Son,ane. He at
one period voted for the WALTON Constitu-

1876 he was beaten by Bonapartist, and
in 1882 he was described by the Figaro as
entertaining anti-clerical views.

even o reprimand. DR.. McGlynn once
brought him in collision with his Bishop.
He was student Of the Propaganda, and
he tbok an oath to uphold the doctrines of
the church, which it is now thought by the
higher authorities that he is infringing
q, on by delivering his speeches in favor Of
tile recent labor movements which are dis
1urbing the elements of both church and
state. DIR. McGlynn has no fear of any
serious results from lis call to Rome. for
it can be easily urged that priests have
taken part in politics in Europe-most

Italy, and in Ireland especially, and that
even Popes have been politicians.

Mrs. Cleveland has a Dull Day.
HEAVY SKIES AND RAIN ALMOST sroIL HKR PLANS FOR
AN AFTERNOON VISIT.
At Marion, Mass, yesterday. the sky was over
cast and q cold wind was blowing In gusts. Mrs
Cleveland decided that she would dispense with
her morning dip in the sea. She, however, did
not like the idea Of having to give up her drive,
and watched the weather anxiously. In the
morning Miss A. L. Dawes, who has been visiting
Mrs. Greely. andh been very close companion
OF MIS- Cleveland, went away on the early train
for Boston: Mrs. Cleveland was very sorry to have

Just before lunch Mrs. Cleveland was at the en-
trance 10 the Greey residence and listening to the
predictions OF the old salts, who talked learnedly
about the prospects OF four days rain. Early in
the afternoon the sky became heavier and thun-
der roied and then the rain fell in torrents. This
settled the drive, and Mrs. Cleveland took out q
very dainty little w0rk-basket and began to do
something which, it is said would adorn her room
In the White House. That Is the way Mrs Cleve-
Land spent the afternoon. She had accepted an
Pegr1m, OF Providence, and anxi0usly watched the
weather ana contemplated the chances OF its
clearing up. It was finally decided that 1t was too

The Receiving AeServO1r.
REMEDIES THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED FOR THE
PRESENT STATE OF AFFAIRS
A statement is published that by the storm OF
last evening the drainage Of thirty-s square
miles of territory was swept into the receiving
reservoir The surroundings OF the reservoir have
received the consideration OF the officers In charge
for some time, but little has been done to improve
them The reservoir Is in the basin Of a creek or
branch that formerly flowed through the little
valley. There are several little streams that flow
into it. These streams have a drainage area, as
calculated, OF between 10 and IL square miles The
land is used by farmers and is covered in some in
stances with fertllzerS Besides, there are cattle
on it. and dwelling houses with outhOuSeS.
The main stream flowing into the reservoir has
carried sediment into IT, making marshy place
at one end THIS reservoir was intended, Capt.
SymonS says as O place where the water should
settle and become Clarified, but under existing
conjitions it Is valueless for that purpose
or Tor any purpose except the storage
of water. ne has recommended that
an artificial channel be cut around the reser-
voir to Intercept the streams that now fiow into
It and carry them into the Potomac; that the
basin be dredged out so that the minimum depth
would be fye feet and that the sides be rtprapped
The estimated cost OF this work Is $l3OOOO In
addition he has urged the purchase OF the land
fmmediateIy adjacent to the reservoir and to the
dam or gate where the water flows In from the
river. SO as to prevent any possible pollution OF
the water by the occupants, biped or quadruped,
OF this land.
